Shropshire Storage company finds new use for storage container!

It’s not every day of the week you find a van parked in a box but there was a reason. Mark Jones of Lockley Storage at Wistanswick near Market Drayton was preparing one of his Self Storage Containers for a new client when the thought occurred to him “ that looks big enough to get my van in”.

Shropshire Storage company finds new use for storage container!

It proved to be really easy and was a graphic demonstration of the great capacity these storage containers provide. Perhaps not many will want to Self Store a car but the container would easily swallow that cherished 60’s Mini and still have room for a sofa and a nest of side tables!

With many now facing the challenge of starting their own business in a downturn, Self Storage containers like these, secure, accessible, pristine and affordable, can be a godsend. They enable start-ups with limited space at home to get through the tricky early days of a new business without the cost burden of premises to store their stock, papers or tools.

So far Mark’s customers have stored office furniture, stock for shops both on line and on the street, jet skis, household furniture, business stationary, documents and tools. They are secure in the knowledge that the containers are in impeccable condition, specially treated to prevent condensation building up and within a secure enclosure with CCTV and alarm systems. Just the job for anyone needing more storage space at home or in a business.
